PHNOM PENH, July 28 (Bernama) -- The World Quran Endowment Programme organised by the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) with the cooperation of Restu Foundation will print 100,000 copies of the Quran with translation in the Khmer language for distribution to Muslims in Cambodia in the next five years.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the effort was to fulfil the need of the Muslim community in Cambodia and to ensure that each Muslim family would have at least one copy of the Quran.
"There are about 500,000 Muslims in Cambodia and there is only one Quran for every six families. So, we hope generous Malaysians can assist Cambodian Muslims through this programme so that each family will have at least one Quran," he told Malaysian journalists here Thursday.
Ahmad Zahid had earlier handed over 10,200 copies of donated Quran to the president of the Cambodian Islamic Community Development Foundation Othsman Hassan and Cambodia mufti Kamaruddion Yusof at Chrouk Romeat Mosque in Kampung Chhnang and Amar bin Yazid Mosque at KM9, to be distributed to Muslims here.
The minister said the programme aimed to print and distribute 20,000 copies of the Quran annually over a period of five years and this was expected to commence from the month of Ramadan next year.
"Translation of the Quran into the Khmer language has been completed and we are only waiting for sufficient funds to print the copies of Quran," he said.
Earlier, speaking before 1,500 Cambodian Muslims at Chrouk Romeat Mosque, Ahmad Zahid said the 10,200 copies of Quran given away today showed the concern of the Malaysian government and people towards Muslims in Cambodia.
Kamaruddin said he was touched and thankful for the gift of the Quran, adding that the Cambodian Muslim community depended on outside help for copies of the Holy Book.
"We hope there will be enough Quran for us in future," he added.
At the two presentation ceremonies, Ahmad Zahid also handed over 500 Muqaddam booklets and 1,000 prayer rugs for use by the Cambodian Muslims.

Is the Quran written in Khmer language or Arabic?
Everything in Cambodia must be written in Khmer language?
Malaysian Muslims way of mobilization to indoctrinate radical ideas in Cambodia, a very dangerous development we don't need right now.
This explains the docile nature of the Muslims in Cambodia. If they start to apply what the Koran really ask of them...????.... Cambodia will start to feel the affect of Islam Caliphate. God's foreign policy toward Cambodia may be activated by using radical Islam to fulfill his word.
People of Cambodia - you have a religion that you can start to fear because if those Muslims apply their faith to the full intent as dictate by the Koran...??? Let you decide.

Seriously, ...Cambodians don't need 100,000 copies of the Quran.
Cambodians need updated history textbooks and up to date science textbooks!!!
Cambodians need to be educated ..NOT INDOCTRINATED!!!
The shitnamese are the problem as it always been, and not the muslim.
All Cambodians should be converted to Muslim, the benefits will be but not limit to:
1/ Cut down traffic death by drunk drivers since Muslim faith do not allow to consume alcohol.
2/ People will be more patriot and willing to sacrifice more for their country.
3/ Faith can unite one country against the aggressor and that's what Cambodia needs now.
4/ We don't need to import all Yourn illegal immigrants to increase our population since Muslim law allows each man to have up to 7 wives.

Baay Kdaing is right. If all Cambodians converted to Islam, the men can beat their wives, behead them if they don't give them sex 15 times a day. As a Muslim you can almost marry a fetus and can have sex with your new wife at 9 years old or when she can bear the weigh of her 80 year old husband. Yep, being a Muslim will satisfy all your sexual need & kill all that disagree with them. I'll opt out.

Muslims women never allowed non muslim men to fuck them while muslim men can fuck women in other religions. Korans (Qurans) teach nothing but violence. Khmer Muslims used to respect, obey and afraid of Cambodian people and culture but now with the help and support from muslims of other countries, they don't give a shit any more. Soon they will fight for an independent state within Cambodia. These people are good at nothing but killing and making babies. The world has had enough.
The world has 7 billion people;
the Muslims have one and half
billion believers;
the Christians have two billion
and half believers;
the Buddhists have 600,000,000
believers;
the Hindus have one billion
believers.
People can change their beliefs
in a second.
Because they can change their minds
at 50,000 times in 24 hours.
